I don't think about Jamie Oliver

He exists. Honestly, that's as far as my opinion on him goes.

Haiyaa..

hes like chili jam on fried rice
John Oliver is the better Oliver
replies:
He's smug and preachy.
Pushing for healthier school lunches was fine, but his campaign to shame parents into making healthy food for their kids, without first considering poverty, available time, or other complicating factors is proof that he doesn't care about people actually eating healthy, as much as he is about maintaining his "champion of healthy eating" façade.

I love his chicken nuggets video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwL5G5HbGA
replies:
He's a celebrity first and a chef second, unlike the likes of Gordon Ramsay, who's a chef first and a celebrity second.
He's a bit worthy and his restaurants are a bit shit, but I'm sure his heart is in the right place.
replies:
I hate how much he hates chicken nuggets. His only argument against them seems to be that they use all the bad dirty bits of the chicken. I'm like "Yeah..if we're going to eat chicken we may as well eat all of them."
He's the apple shagger that gave Scotland both the Irn Bru ruining sugar tax and got rid of our two for one pizza deals. So no, don't really like him.
Itβs a boring answer but I assume youβre looking for a consensus? I donβt know much about him, but I like cooking videos and Iβve enjoyed his content in the past.
It's all very well telling people what to cook. The problem is many don't know how to cook. By that I mean they don't know the logistics and workflow, so a meal that should take 15 minutes to make instead takes an hour or more. When I enter the kitchen the first thing I do is switch on the stove. Then I prep in the order that I need ingredients. I've noticed a lot of people do all the chopping and dicing first and only when they have everything prepared they put pans on the stove. If you're going to make potatoes get the water on the boil first, then get the potatos out and clean and chop them. There are lots of things that save time when cooking. I cook most things together in a single cast iron pan, and I add leftovers to the dishes I'm cooking so the ingredients go further. I think that should be taught more instead of just handing out recipes.

He stole me turkey twizzlers, so he can fuck right off
Haiaaaaaaa, please not Mr. Chili Jam
Who's Jamie Oliver?
Knew a chef that trained under him for a bit, apparently he's quite a cunt
Hes a mediocre cook with a lot of luck. Don't get mevwrong, hes not bad. But hes not great either.
Not sure who that is, but I love the name Oliver. He must be named after my cat
Fuuyoooh
His frying pan series is shit.
Hes a poncy, hypocritical cunt that looks down on 98% of society because he thinks hes better than everyone when hes nothing more than some bloviating blowhard that doesnt even live up to what he says others should do.
For me he's a great TV cook in terms of how much positive influence he had with my bubble and me. I don't know if i would be so passionate about home cooking if it wasn't for his work. That being said i wouldn't be on a months-long waiting list to visit his restaurants (dunno if any still exist).
He doesn't know how to pronounce common words.
He's a celebrity chef.
A chill and jolly celebrity chef. A good protagonist if Ramsey was the antagonist.
lovely jubbly
